Why not work harder to scrub it better and deliver more electricity for the plug in hybrids?
I don't think scrubbing the exhaust of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate emissions is the controversial part, it's the carbon. At the end of the day, coal is nearly pure carbon. As you likely know, burning carbon produces carbon dioxide. This is very alarming to those who are concerned about global warming.
Unfortunately, the coal industry only has one solution for the global warming crowd. They suggest we bury the carbon dioxide underground. This in itself is controversial, because nobody knows if it will work on such a massive scale.
Personally, I don't see how they will store it underground without it leaking to the surface. If you are going to store carbon, it's best to store it as coal, or in some sort of plant matter.

From Wikipedia:
In December 2005, myYearbook was down for about a half hour after locker abuse. A user by the name of Thirtysixway used the locker feature to upload PHP files and send out masses of Email. Over 30,000 emails were sent and caused one of the servers to go down. After this incident, myYearbook filters out files that can be executed or illegal.
The results of this poll seem to suggest otherwise. Little Bobby Table's mom would be proud.
Windows XP was not a continuation of the 95-98-98SE-ME hybrid 16/32bit product line.
But it was sold to the home user market, just like 95-98-98SE-ME. In my opinion, the 9X family should have never existed. Everyone should have used NT.
While I agree that most merchant ships can't sustain 26 knots. I don't think many of them are steam powered anymore. They mostly use low speed diesel engines, such as those manufactured by Wartsila.
Computers could be used to navigate in the open ocean, and harbor pilots could continue to navigate through dangerous waters the same way they have for centuries.
Think of the surprise that the Somali pirates would get if they got on board and found no one.
Taking this one step further.
Imagine a group of Somali pirates boarding a cargo ship. They arrive on the bridge to discover it's empty. The doors to the bridge slam shut and lock behind them. The room fills with sevoflurane gas, rendering the pirates unconscious.
When the pirates regain consciousness, they find themselves in a holding cell. This holding cell is surrounded by other holding cells filled with other Somali pirates who fell for they same trap they did. This ship isn't a cargo ship at all. Its a trap designed to clean up the seas around Somalia.
Same thing happened in the UK - the BBCs business editor was hauled into parliament to explain his writings, and just like in South Korea the MPs wanted to blame him for causing the trouble in the UK economy.
Meanwhile, Jon Stewart blasts CNBC for not questioning the stability of the financial markets.
I worked as a programmer / all around tech in a steel mill years ago
I've heard BAD stories about steel mills. One that sticks out:
My boss and I were walking on a catwalk above a ladle full of molten steel. Because the steel was so hot, we were wearing fire proximity suits. The boss turns around to talk to me, and leans up against the hand rail on the catwalk. As he leaned against the railing, it let go, sending him falling into the ladle of molten steel.
He never actually made it to the molten steel. It was so hot down there that the fire proximity suit couldn't protect him. He vaporized before he hit the surface of the steel.
After hearing that story, I decided I will never work in a steel mill.
I can attest to this. Although I am not a programmer, and don't know the parent personally, I once spent some time as an industrial engineer.
I've seen programmers write pieces of code using nothing but a piece of plywood across the top of a garbage can for a desk. Keep in mind, many factories don't allow chairs on the factory floor, so all the work was done standing up. Not to mention the other horrible working conditions that come with factories.
Although, I do seem to remember those programmers most of those programmers going freelance and making some big money.
How many car seats can you put in it in the legally mandated location?
In the not too distant past, before there were SUVs, people with kids used to drive station wagons. To fit the maximum number of people in a station wagon, the manufacturers had rear facing third row seats. (example from a Ford Taurus) They were, and still are, a perfectly safe way to seat people in a car.
If they had a viable business plan, they wouldn't be demanding that the taxpayer bail them out, would they?
In this economic climate, it's difficult to say. So far, we have bailed out companies that appear less viable. It seems like Tesla is guilty of being a small upstart in difficult times, not of having a poor business plan.
I'm sorry, but a $50,000 car is STILL just for the wealthy.
While I agree that only the wealthy can afford a Model S, Tesla is the only company that has demonstrated a viable business plan for producing electric cars. As they continue to produce them, they expect the price to come down.
they would still need a different vehicle for taking the kids to soccer games, camping, etc. where more passenger and cargo space are needed.
Actually, they wouldn't. The Model S seats 7, believe it or not. The electric drive train provides more space for storage. There is room for cargo under the hood (bonnet) because that space isn't needed for an engine.

See what happens when you get advice from a butcher. (I'm not really a butcher, but I'm also not a doctor, I should have mentioned that earlier)
Especially when it's not administered and monitored by an anaesthiologist.
You've actually pointed out the root cause of the issue. "Humane" execution is not possible without a doctor. Doctors won't perform executions as a result of their Hippocratic Oath.
I've actually found Matt & Trey rather neutral. Their policy is to make fun of everybody equally. For every episode that makes fun of liberals, there is one that makes fun of conservatives. They are very good at playing the devil's advocate, which is what makes their shows great.

Just like there's no such thing as clean nuclear (gotta do something with that waste)
Actually, the French have been recycling their spent nuclear fuel for years.

What Operating Systems did this malicious code run on?

When will people stop being slaves to Texa$ In$trument$? HPs are so much more secure.
The fact that these networks are still vulnerable to MITM attacks is pretty shocking.
Fortunately, most of these transactions aren't conducted on the public internet. If there is a MITM attack, the "Man" should be easy to find.

Microsoft has finially discovered how to ensure their products are invunerable to hackers, simply never release anything.
Google is going to sue for patent infringement on that technology.
In my experience, Mozilla's support for XP64 hasn't been that great to begin with.
I thought serenity was the runner up?
If you'd read the post that mweather was replying to, you'd know that mweather was referring to Windows.
This is why I always quote the relevant portion of the parent post in my replies.

No... you should just stop invading nations.
I didn't invade any nation. I wish I could. I think it would be pretty cool if I could single-handedly overthrow a government.
